Each morning, a group of mostly twentysomethings gathers around a conference table. Notepads in hand, they engage in a freewheeling discussion about national news stories in the morning papers and issues of importance in 17 critical states around the country. They devise a rapid-response plan to political events scheduled for that day and assemble a list of anti-Bush or pro-Democrat stories to push to hundreds of print and broadcast media outlets....

And on it goes, through a checklist of stories and issues. "Push back" on Republican spin here; highlight stories that are critical of the Bush administration there. Lesmerises, whom Jordan later describes as a "walking encyclopedia," suggests ideas for research. They agree they should assemble background information on all of the Bush surrogates who will be appearing in Boston this week.

That is precisely what AS does. He posts the latest stories and talking points and then hammers, hammers, hammers.
